Blog #9

My spring break was epic: I flew to Africa and rode a zebra–I eventually jumped off the zebra (while it ran) and jumped on the back of a sprinting cheetah. Obviously, this is a false interpretation of how my spring break actually went, so here the real story is . . .

Being an art major, there's a new policy this semester where Friday's are "studio" days. Thus, once I finished was classes and track practice on Thursday I headed for the train station in Lincoln. 

The train always comes through Lincoln every night at midnight. I have definitely had to wait on it several times though; it doesn't usually show up on time. The worst wait I've ever had on the train was four hours. FOUR HOURS!!! I'm still not happy about that night, but this time it actually showed up fifteen minutes early. I boarded the train and started my journey back 
to Colorado.

I really didn't do a whole lot of anything while I was home. I was able to eat my mother's home cooked meals, see friends, and spend time with family. Sadly, I was given track workouts to do over break–it isn't very fun trying to do eight 200s on your own. (When there's no one there to push you, it makes it pretty difficult to hit the desired times.) My spring break was very relaxing and very much needed. I was able to get several pieces of homework done and I know that aspect of my spring break will greatly please all of my professors. 

I had a wonderful spring break overall, and even though it was too short and pretty uneventful, it was just what the doctor ordered. There isn't anything better for a college student than sleep and home cooked food. I believe God has sent me to Concordia for a reason–I believe the education I gain here will take me places that the Lord has planned. At the same time, God has blessed me with growing up in Colorado with a great family and awesome friends. Any chance I get to experience Colorado is a win in my book!
